Men’s Health Wearables: Medical Alert Bracelets & Pendants

Wearables are all the rage, but these handy devices aren’t just fashionable. When an accident or medical emergency occurs, medical ID and alert wearables play a critical role in men’s health -- getting you the help you need as soon as possible.

IDs and alert devices are available in a wide range of styles and form factors. Pendants and bracelets are the most popular, and several companies offer stylish and practical options designed especially for men.

Medical ID Bracelets for Men

Having your medical information readily available makes it possible for someone to quickly determine how to can help you. IDs can also be useful to help seniors with memory loss, disorientation, or cognitive issues.

Medical IDs provide critical information for first responders and other medical personnel. For instance, diabetics experiencing extremely low blood sugar exhibit some of the same symptoms as people who have had too much wine. The latter case only requires some hydration and a good night’s sleep, while the former demands prompt, precise medical treatment.

There are simple, off-the-shelf options available, but many men prefer a more stylish bracelet or pendant engraved with specific medical information, including conditions, allergies and emergency contact information. Active senior men may select a customized medical ID that attaches to a running shoe or hiking boot.

Higher-end models come with additional features like fall detection. These devices use algorithms, gyros and other technology to know when you fall and automatically alert the response center, often before you do. When choosing a medical alert device with fall protection, look for wearables with a low level of false alarms, so the device remains a true help and not a hindrance.

When it comes to buying men’s medical IDs and alert devices, there are many options available. Find the product that meets your needs and complements your personal sense of style so you can get the right kind of medical attention when you need it most.
